The Auction Hall was in commotion for sure. Not a few complained about the delay, despite the compensation. The two hosts were also confused about what happened and retreated from the stage before they became objects of the attendees' anger.
They waited backstage, wondering what caused the delay. After ten minutes of waiting, a manager who was in charge of the shop came to them. The man was sweating profusely, and his breath was slightly erratic.
"You can restart the auction in five minutes!" The shop manager was about to leave, but the old man pulled his hand. "What happened?"
"Your greedy fool manager tried to scam Lady Elonia's guest, who is also an Executive Administrator. I heard from the Director that it almost ruined the potential deal with the Executive Administrator. Just do your job properly and don't try to pull something stupid, or you will not lose your job, but your life as well," The Shop Manager ran back.
